British intelligence claims that the Russians' information about the alleged successes in the

Vugledar

region of Donetsk region and Orikhov in the Zaporizhia region is fake.

This was announced on Twitter by the British Ministry of Defense.

It is noted that over the past six days, information about the alleged advance of occupation troops near Orichov and Vugledar has increased on the Internet.

Russian commentators claim that the Russian army managed to break through the defense of the Armed Forces in these areas.

In fact, the intelligence officers emphasize, the Russian army carried out local attacks in these areas.

However, it is highly unlikely that the aggressor Russia has achieved at least some significant success.

"There is a real possibility that Russian military sources are deliberately spreading disinformation in an attempt to create the impression that the Russian operation is continuing," British intelligence explained.
